I am passionately interested in fluid dynamics problems of different tastes especially which are having a flavour of nonlinear dynamics. My current research focus is on understanding the low speed unsteady aerodynamics/ hydrodynamics and nonlinear fluid-structure interaction behaviour of bio-inspired propulsion. Browse through my web page to know more about my research. Don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of any help to you!
